and oh my god

she proceeded to ask me about every single pokemon and was amazed that I knew all of their names and she loved talking about their powers and personalities and she said she simply MUST ask her parents to let her watch pokemon.

she was even more in awe when I told her there were in fact multiple games.

Hello again, humankind! Now that you have illustrated who I am, what I am into, what major I am studying and all, I think it is time to explain the duty and the objectives of my blog.

Normally people create blogs to share their personal ideas on literally anything,from rocket science to gardening. However, in my blog my focus will be on the discussions, homework and the projects that will be assigned in one of my school subjects at Marmara University in the departmant of ELT, Instructional Technologies and Material Design in English Language.

My name is Hayrunisa Altın and I am 20 years old. Currently I am an ELT student at Marmara University in Istanbul. The reason why I created this blog page is to share my journey as a pre-service English teacher. Additionally,I hope to inspire people and get inspired from them in return. I think it is time to get to know me better!

Who is Nikolykind?

You may wonder why my user name is Nikolykind instead of something related to my real name. Back in highschool, my close friends used to call me Nikoly, which still makes me feel unique. Like I am one of a specific kind.Then I attached the word kind at the end.I actually thought it would be creative to use it as a pen name. To refer my readers,I have come up with a nickname too, Humankind!

Apart for my interest in English language and Education, I am very keen on listening to different genres of music. Heavy-metal, rock and post-punk are some of them. This is one of the concerts I've been too!

Another interest of mine is fashion and life style. I am an alternative person and I usually prefer thrifted or second-hand clothes because they are much more cheaper compared to fast-fashion products. Additionally second-hand products are sustainable and don't cause harm to the environment as much as fast-fashion products do. I personally believe they re cooler too! Here are some of my stylings:

And last but not least, maybe the most neglected interest of mine is drawing. Although I can not spare much time to it, drawing is still the best comforting acivity for me. Here are some of my art works:
